It's funny to me because it reads like a satire of non-vegans, but this is literally how most of them are.

They do. As I wrote, they gotta blast out an egg worth of nutrients and thst came from somewhere. A lot of chicken energy went into it so they eat their own eggs to get it back. The stuff chickens eat is fairly low nutrition but they eat a lot of it so to replace an egg worth of lost nutrients isn't really practical with the corn and grain and occasional worm they eat cause chickens also blast out eggs constantly. Their tummies get full and it takes time to process all that grain, if they're not chomping their own eggs back down they're gonna be malnourished
just to 100% clarify i moreso meant if it upsets the hen with my original statement.
ah i thought they just ate that stuff because that's all people normally give them (i.e. shit low nutrition food). so i had been thinking if you fed them higher nutrious stuff it would be fine lol. i also thought the chickens that blast out eggs like that were factory farm ones, i was unaware normal chickens are like that too.
There has never been a 'normal chicken'. Chickens as they are have never been wild animals.
i suppose i should say im comparing it in my head to those monstrosity ones like they make for chicken meat that grow up super early and super fast and just suffer their entire short lives because of how fat they get in such a short time. i had figured they did something similar with egg focused chickens.
i didnt know chickens were so domesticated tho, what were they domesticated from?
to add to this point, taking the chickens eggs interrupts their laying cycle, causing them to produce more eggs introducing potential health problems and iirc shortening their lifespan
from reading like this seems like even the fantasy of having a backyard chicken isnt really ethical either!
